EU Directive Forces Britain to Accept Failed Asylum Seekers

A European Union directive which guarantees “refugees” the right to work if they manage to stay in any member state for 12 months has been used to force Britain to accept even failed asylum seekers as residents.

The outrageous situation arose after court cases were brought by two “asylum seekers,” one from Burma and another from Somalia.

The two scroungers had both been denied asylum in Britain (which means that their cases were so weak that not even the liberal establishment could see its way clear to agreeing to their demands) but had, like 92 percent of all “asylum seekers,” simply refused to leave Britain.

The two “asylum seekers” applied to the Supreme Court for protection under the EU regulation which overrules British law.

Deputy president of the court, Lord Kerr, ruled in favour of the “asylum seekers” even though they had clearly broken every law in the book by firstly making bogus applications and then staying on in contravention of asylum tribunal rulings.

Asylum seekers have the right of refuge in the first safe country bordering the one they flee.

This does not give them the right to cross dozens of safe countries to reach soft touch Britain, as the first “safe” country which they enter is the only nation obligated to provide refuge.

A person fleeing Burma, for example, has the right of refuge in India or Thailand. In order to reach Britain, such a person has literally crossed thirty or more “safe” countries and is therefore no longer an “asylum seeker” but actually just an invader.

The position that there are no legal asylum seekers in Britain?. All have broken international conventions and British immigration law and all must be returned forthwith, without compensation, to the first safe country bordering the one they fled and in which their journey to soft touch Britain started.

The latest ruling, enforced by the EU, means that at least 45,000 of these utterly bogus asylum seekers who have already been told to leave Britain, will now be able to stay and work.

It was previously announced that there is a backlog of 450,000 asylum claims which still have to be processed.

MigrationWatch chairman Sir Andrew Green was quoted in a newspaper as commenting that there has “been a succession of court decisions which take no account of the real world in which our Home Office has to operate.

“It is no service to genuine refugees to make the asylum system progressively more open to abuse. Yet again EU directives have unintended and unwelcome consequences for Britain,” Sir Andrew said.

Given MigrationWatch’s correct assessment of the disastrous consequences of continued EU membership for Britain’s immigration policies and the Conservative Party’s fanatic support of the EU, observers are continually left puzzled why Sir Andrew supports that party.
